Is Bill Skibbe's studio work as grand as his amazing live engineering? I would really like to check out some of his recordings. Can anybody offer some recommended listening?
Best,

2Yes - the recent USA Is a Monster LP was recorded at Key Club. Everybody should buy it - they make Lightning Bolt seem pretty boring.

3Thanks for that, I will seek them out at my local store. Do you know if they are distributed in the UK?
I met Bill last night at ATP and he was the nicest guy ever, as was Jessica. They were kind enough to listen to me go on and on and on and on about nothing in particular about all and sundry.
Finally, some people who tolerate fools gladly!!

4Bill Skibbe did a wonderful job at ATP. Perhaps the mix downstairs in the morning was a little cooler but later Shellac played I think one of the best shows I have seen from them. Trainer was simply on fire. But I must say that mix and show of the weekend must go too McLusky. was that you scruffy?I saw you rocking behind the desk.

5It might have well been me behind the desk but I only did so for the last couple of tunes. If it was me I was dressed in black with far too much hair. Was the best place to get a full on belt of that bass drum I thought. As a drummer myself I considered going home and burning all my sticks at the aural amzingness that is Todd "Something For The Weekend, Sir?" Trainer.

6Is Todd (friday afternoon ATP) named after Todd Trainer?
Also dug the Boredoms and of course Lightning Bolt (the Chalet set was to short, but Barry was a gentleman about it of course). Although having said that I recorded a four peice called Ghidrah 5 years ago that were doing the same thing, that were 10 times better/harder/faster/shorter.Sadly broke up because of death treats from New Zealand audiences.
Looking forward to Vincent Gallo.
